Wenger - The goals will come for Bendtner
Arsène Wenger is backing Nicklas Bendtner to find the finishing touch in an Arsenal shirt.
The Danish striker made a significant contribution to Saturday's 4-0 win over Blackburn. He played a key role in Arsenal's opener and caused no end of problems for Rovers with his link-up play and powerful running. However, Bendtner was unable to cap a fine display with the goals he deserved after squandering three good chances.
The 20-year-old appears to split opinion among Arsenal fans but Bendtner's supporters point to his youth and argue that the Dane will eventually find the composure to match his excellent approach work. Wenger also believes the goals will come for a player who has made a big leap forward this season.
"I agree he had a good game [against Blackburn] but a bad scoring record on the day," said the Frenchman.
"What is interesting with him is that his performance improves. I’ve seen players miss chances before when they are young and then once they start to score they quickly get impressive.
"Just imagine if he had taken two of his chances [on Saturday], everyone would have said what a great game he had.
"He was not far away from taking two chances so let’s support him, be positive and encourage him."
